iPhone 4 crashed last night... well for whatever reason, my iPhone 4 crashed last night and im pissed! I had been having some issues with battery drainage with the phone off and while on standby. So i contacted apple and was told to do a restore on it and try it again. So, i hook it up to itunes and it starts syncing then out of no where it bricked 
Now im calling apple back and telling them what happened and they were even amazing that my 25 day old phone had **** the bed. But today im going to the apple store to get a replacement. Sorry for the rant guys had to let some steam out. Any one else had this problem with your iPhone 4?

yeah well i got 2 things going for me right now, its still under the thirty day exchange deal, and it has a year warranty on it. So i know if i can get past the first few months without issues then i wont be worried. I didnt have any issues with the phone other than the battery drainage and that was probably my fault lol. But i love my iPhone and wouldnt get rid of it for anything.

yeah i dont think so, i just moved to att from verizons horrible service. Oh and their first gen phones are horrible, i bought the blackberry storm when i started with verizon and within 8 months i had been through 5 of them. All of them were software problems or the overall shitty make of the phone. Since i have been with att i havent dropped one call and i get service every where. But thanks anyways

Buying a phone when its first released is like buying a car in its first initial release....they always have bugs/issues/glitches so its best to wait till they are sorted out.

Blackberry storm isn't one of the phones I was speaking off, RIM makes a horrible phone imo but the client base is still strong for that phone. Sorry to hear about your service problems, it's the first time I've heard someone have something bad to say about the service.

yeah, i have no idea if its were we live or what, but verizon was horrible here. Customer service was always nice and attempted to fix our problem but couldnt, so we left. I dont agree that i probably should of whated a few months before getting the iphone 4, but couldnt lol. But its whatever im getting it replaced today.

I love my I4. You can do alot of things to save the battery. I have the battery doctor apps which I think has helped a little with battery life but they also give you lots of tips that work. Some of the things I do that saves tons of battery life.
Things to do when your at work or not using your phone much:
1) Turn your location service off.
2) Turn your 3G off ( If you still have wi-fi wherever your at with a good connection you will be fine )
^ these two alone save me tons of battery life while im at work.
Overall the phone has been flawless. Yes I can put the left botton corner where the black strip is in my palm and cover it and the signal bars will go down ..... but I have yet to drop a call!!! Apple is giving away free bumpers so check on their website daily!!

Should trade in your iphone 4 for a samsung captivate. Go up to the AT&T store and play with that phone for 5 minutes and you just might be swapping that iphone out for it.
